Granite Hills students reportedly caught with edibles on campus

Parents of six Granite Hills High School students were contacted Thursday morning to take their students off campus after the teenagers reportedly provided or consumed baked goods laced with marijuana.

Porterville Unified School District Superintendent John Snavely confirmed the baked goods were either cake or brownies, and were prepared before school began at 8:20 a.m.

The incident occurred before school ended at 12:45 p.m.

“It’s my understanding that the students knew what they were consuming,” Snavely said.

Principal Veryl Ann Duncan confirmed police were involved, but declined to comment further.

As of 2 p.m., school officials could not confirm whether any of the students had been arrested, or had become ill and been hospitalized.

“I’m not aware that any students have gone to the doctor or the hospital,” Snavely said.
